Bachmann: My ‘flat tax’ would have ‘not one but several rates’ | The Raw Story

Another day, another peculiar statement from Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN).

When asked by ABC’s This Week host Christiane Amanpour about what her tax plan would be, the congresswoman said that she would implement a flat tax. But while discussing her plan, Bachmann seemed to not understand what exactly a “flat tax” is.

“I would flatten the rates and simplify them, I would not have just one rate, but I’ll have several rates,” she said. “A flattened, simple, much fairer system, and one that would be equitable and raise revenues for the federal government as well.”
